As chief executive officer of Medweb, Peter Killcommons, MD, oversees the company's telemedicine operations. A burgeoning field, telemedicine involves transmitting medical information by electronic means with the express purpose of improving patient care. Business people and medical professionals like Dr. Killcommons advocate the use of telemedicine for the potential benefits it may yield for health systems around the world.

One such benefit centers on cost. Research has shown that telemedicine reduces health care expenses by cutting travel times, diminishing hospital stays, and even promoting enhanced chronic disease management. Also, telemedicine satisfies consumer demand. With a fully functional telemedicine infrastructure, patients may not need to incur the cost of long-distance travel to access their doctor, and research demonstrates that telemedicine yields results as good as or better than traditional in-person health care.

Telemedical services encompass a wide range of solutions, including the storage and transmission of video clips and diagnostic images. It can also mean doctors consulting with one another through live video conferencing. Further, telemedical techniques can involve remote patient monitoring and using technology to send health data to various facilities for interpretation.
